Chapter 40

And she was like the moon

Glowing with a captivating spirit.

Her eyes reflect its attractive pull

Manipulating me like the waves.

She hauled me in with such force,

that I didn't realise it before it was to late.

Daddy ventures into the gardens. The night sky is colored with stars, it's really pretty.

His movements are laggard and that has my concern.

" Take zhen to one of the side rooms, We would like to rest for a while."

Eunuch Wang does as he is told and we creep silently after them. The light techniques I learnt back at the sect are really comimg in handy. The room is not too far away from the banquet hall, just enough distance so that you can still hear the noise coming from inside it.

Girl those people inside the banquet have left and are not far behind you. Be careful.

What did I tell you about speaking in my head without warning, what if I screamed. Geez Louise.

Yeah yeah are you done with the dramatics. Heed my words wisely girl if you want your father and your mother's marriage to be stable.

Wow. I did not think that as soon as I got back the scheming would start. And so serious too.

Daddy gets taken into a secluded side room with the eunuch acting as a guard. As for daddy's hidden guards I can't trust them. After all the plot pull is stronger than anything in this world, besides me hehe.

"Stay close." I whisper to Tian Tian, he nods his head in agreement. As we sneak imto daddy's resting area I can see how deep of a sleep he is in. It is as though someone's knocked him out with some sleeping potion.

(A/N hmmm context clues am i right?)

Tian Tian and I lay in weight behind the screen, silently stalking in preperation for the kill.

5 miutes later a shadow can be heard opening the door. Huh? What happened to eunuch Wang? Making a mental note to investigate that later I listen for more movement within the area, it might be an ambush.

The figure in black soon removes her cloak as another person appears beside her.

Figure in black: "I want you to keep watch. Make sure not to arouse anyone's suspicion and if someone ventures to close..........you know what to do."

The person makes a cutting movement with their finger against their neck. Killing intent oozing out if their pores. Hmph, what a weak assassin, pretty sure I am way scarier.

I send Tian Tian out to go and probe around outside. See if he can inquire any information about the person keeping watch.

As I stared at the moon I felt its calming affect on me. It reminded me of Etherina, the moon goddess who told me of the prophecy. Her voice was so comforting, making me feel at ease. It's as though she is here with me right now. And I'd like to think so too.

The stranger's voice breaks my line of thought.

"Ahh, my dear emperor. After all this time we finally meet again." Hold the f*ck up. The voice sounds exactly like Jezebeth! Her voice is full of hate and envy.

"I remember when we first met all those years ago. When you killed my family. Huh, thinking about it now is quite ironic." What the devil?! This was NOT in the original plot.

What the hell is her real identity. Thinking about it now, she really should not have just killed Melia's family for no reason. What exactly did my father do?

"Eh, we'll have plenty of time to talk in the future. But for now I'm gonna need you to do something for me."

She takes out a green vile from her robe pocket reaching for daddy's mouth. Of course I'm not gonna just stand there and do nothing? What kind of daughter does that?

(The female lead DUH)

I make my presence known, and using my water element snatch the vile out of her hand.

"He-" I hit her with my water whip, right in her mouth. I hate long winded people.

That seems to knock some sense into her as she takes on a fighting stance. Kind of shocking, thought she was just a pretty vase.

Her palms turn a blazing red garnering such fierceness on her face that I am subsequently flabbergasted.

What the fuck is going on here?
